WATERLOO, Ont. - The #1-ranked Golden Hawks are 4-0 at the midway point of the season after a 41-19 Battle of Waterloo victory against the Waterloo Warriors. 

Here are the Laurier football Players of the Week, presented by Laurier OneCard, for the team's win: 

OFFENSE 

Cal Wither – Quarterback  

Wither put on a monster performance in his first Battle of Waterloo. He threw for 299-yards, four touchdowns, had a 76% completion rate, and ran for 18-yards. Wither has thrown for 200 plus yards in all four games thus far.  

The Waterloo native ranks first in completion rate (70.4%), first in touchdowns (11), first in pass efficiency (179.5), and fifth in total pass yards (1,042) in the OUA.  

This was Wither's first Player of the Week nomination.  

DEFENSE 

Ethan Gregorcic – Linebacker  

Gregorcic was locked in defensively against Waterloo. He ended the game with a team high six tackles that included five solo and two assisted. It was also a season high for the third-year linebacker.

This was Gregorcic's first Player of the Week nod, and fourth of his career.
